The lawsuits claim Johns Hopkins Hospital should have done more to keep an eye on Levy. On Thursday, authorities said they received more than 300 contacts about Levy in the past few days.

Police said Dr. Nikita Levy killed himself as he learned he was under investigation.

Tyesha Bell is among the first of Levy's former patients to file a medical malpractice and negligence lawsuit against the hospital.

"His picture, it gives me chills. It's creepy," she said. "I would like, first and foremost, for all of his patients to receive some sort of compensation."

By filing suit, the attorneys representing patients are potentially able to gather more information about what happened in this case because of subpoena power.

"We look forward to finding out what happened. We look forward to finding out why this went on for so long," said Scott Snyder, Bell's attorney.

Police said there were more than 1,000 patients in Levy's care since 1988, most of whom don't know if they were photographed or videotaped, and, if so, what Levy was allegedly doing with the images and videos.

Jonathan Schochor, representing 685 of Levy's former patients, filed a lawsuit on behalf of one patient with hopes of making it a class-action suit.

"All of them that I have seen thus far have told me they believe Johns Hopkins has failed in its duty to be sure that they're safe," Schochor said.

In the complaint, Schochor's client claims Johns Hopkins Hospital knew, or at least should have known, of Levy's alleged conduct.

The complaint states the hospital "breached their duties and standards of medical practice on an ongoing basis by negligently failing to discover, stop and report Dr. Levy."

The complaint also states that such breaches "constituted carelessness, recklessness and wanton misconduct."

Schochor's client also claimed this went beyond photos and videos to battery, saying, "Dr. Levy intentionally ... made 'unpermitted,' harmful and offensive sexual contact with the plaintiff."

In a statement to 11 News earlier this week, Johns Hopkins Hospital said it fired Levy a day after an employee alerted hospital officials. Hospital officials declined to comment on the lawsuits Friday night.
